Anyone have a comparative experience with the MAlco HC 2?
13130
I have not used the **MAlco HC 2** but have looked it up on Amazon and I have some insight for you. (1) **Hole-Pro X-230** has a SHIELD that CATCHES DUST generated by cutting. If most of your work is remodel or retrofit in homes in which people live, catching dust at the source is IMPERATIVE (for your/and customer's lung sake, to avoid an unnecessary and labor intensive clean up from homeowner's belongings + people don't like you to mess up their place they don't appreciate that, it's traumatic enough even if you're fast and clean for them to live through a retrofit lighting/sound project while they live-in, sometimes with small children). (2) **Hole Pro X-230 has ACCEPTS HOLE SAWS, it takes seconds to change the hole saw from one size to another bc the arbor has a male thread for hole saws to screw onto, there are few standard sizes used for retrofit recessed lights, retrofit electrical boxes, etc. I bought the hole saws separately bc it saves me tons of time and frustration with those cutters (I took them off, only use shallow hole saws such as Milwaukee 4-3/8, 5-3/8, 6-3/8 Inch for recessed lights and Bosch 3, 4 Inch for retrofit electrical boxes for ceiling fans, smoke detectors, etc.). (3) **Hole Pro X-230** can be connected to a vacuum cleaner through a vacuum adapter (approx. $25) sold by the same company that sells the hole pro x-230). Mine is connected to a Fein vacuum with HEPA filter to save my/customers lungs, clean up labor and reduce the time to complete the job. **MAlco HC 2** DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO CATCH DUST, it's basically a rotozip/dremmel type of bit cutter so you can expect an avalanche of sheetrock dust, wood dust or metal shavings). Even if you do commercial work, it gets on your hair, clothes, scissor lift, ladder, shoes and, most importantly LUNGS, something no one can fix at any price. If you need additional clarifications, please don't hesitate to ask. Best of luck finding the right tool for the job!

I have the T3000 coin op and the Warrior so I can do a direct compare between the two from a Warrior vs Tornado perspective. The Warrior does have counter-balanced men. The table as a whole plays well. The big difference being that the Warrior plays much slower than a Tornado (or in this case the T3000 since that is what I'm familiar with). Of course I'm sure you're aware the ball the Warrior uses is much tackier. I spend about 90% of my time on the Tornado and when I do get on the Warrior, my ball control is leaps and bounds better. The walls on the Warrior also don't seem to be as responsive as on the Tornado ie, when bouncing the ball off of them. Not sure if its the walls or the ball. Overall, the Warrior is good table for the price pt. However, you can also find good used Tornado coin-ops (craigs list) for the same if not less. Surprisingly enough, the Warrior is actually a pretty sturdy table for what it weighs. Rods are nice, grips are practically identical to those on the T3 (just different colors). Playing field is good. I would suggest however that if you plan on playing in local tournaments, or even just out and about and want to be competitive, to look into a descent used Tornado coin-op. If just looking for a home table for friends and family to have fun on, the Warrior will serve that purpose without a doubt. (Edit) Occasionally, balls will get stuck in the goal box on the Warrior. You can just reach in and grab them or knock em around a little til they go down the ball return tube. Also the back plating inside the goals is LOUD!

According to their websites the Protac HL throws a whopping 253m tops and the Klarus XT11 is approx. 202m (from cpf--not listed on their website). Having said that the HL is marketed as more of a "spiller" and the Klarus is marketed as being more balanced. My understanding is that anything over 150m is usable (because it's hard for our eyes to see much further than that anyway). It will really come down to preference. The Klarus has a medium mode and the low mode is not as aggressive (10) as the Streamlight's low (33). The Klarus also sports a more aggressive head. Both great flashlights with great reviews!

I am only familiar with the 3M H180 but know I really like it very well with no problems. However, it is very sharp so should only be used by adults with care. But it does the job very easily and quickly.

Search haktoys hak807. A less expensive and smaller alternative. The 738c is expensive for an inexperienced user unless you will always be outside in an open area.

I've never owned one of those, but I will say this unit is way more capable of doing what you need. I still, and wont use all this machine's capabilities. Its a good constructed piece of equipment. I got two, one in my bug out bag.

I have used the HC8000 for a couple of years with a 1/2 HP pump and no issues.

If you really want a hydor, just go with their Pico line. I think they range anywhere from like 1-100 GPH.

Now, here is a kicker. On BH site it shows as DISCONTINUED! So what's the replacement if it's the case? I was hesitant to pull a trigger a couple of weeks ago when price was around $435 and obviously have missed the opportunity. However, if this is already an old model, I am very interested in a replacement.

It works pretty good.. I have used the H360 in the past but I like this one better because of better accuracy and much more comfortable to wear.

I have not, thought it was more expensive because it was digital. I actually went back to Izunami irons, have used them for years but bought the HSI out of curiosity. Fine iron, no issues but decided to stick with the Izunami, I like the ITC 450.

Trying to sale the one I bought. Ended up getting a more expensive one. The blitz haze a 4-6" drop at 30yds. My 60# bow shoots twice as far.

I have both the Polk Audio PSW505 and the Klipsch Sub-12HG in two different rooms. I have been happy with both and can't tell any difference from them sonically when they are set up right. They both pack more base quantity than I can use and their bass quality is fantastic. Although they are both 12", 300 W subs, the enclosures and operation are different. The Klipsch is larger, especially in height. It is down firing and looks like a big box with legs. The Polk is front firing and has the appearance of a squatty speaker with a grill; it looks better. The Polk will probably fit in better in applications where smaller is better (without sacrificing sound!) and down firing is either too attenuated or too coupled with the floor you place it on. Although I don't believe it is typical at all, the Klipsch died the first day. It kept blowing internal fuses. Klipsch sent me a new amp assembly to install myself a week later. It was easy enough to replace and now works great, but while replacing it, I got a sight at the inside of Klipsch workmanship and wasn't impressed. The box was glued together haphazardly with at least one of the reinforcing corners braces having drifted inches away from the corner before it cured. The vent tube is cardboard. Four of the pan head screws holding the amp panel snapped off when I tried to back them out. I had to drill new holes. If price were the same, I would buy the Polk.
